World-Renowned Psychic ✦ 26 Years of Guided Clarity
Where the cards reveal what your soul already knows.
For over two decades, John Culbertson has offered something rare in this field: readings that are honest, precise, and deeply personal. He doesn't traffic in vague comfort. He channels, he interprets, and he delivers — with the quiet confidence of a reader who has sat across from everyone from CEOs to surgeons to grieving mothers, and honored every one of them the same way.
Using a standard 78-card tarot deck, intuitive guidance from his angels and guides, and a lifetime of spiritual study, John meets each session as a singular encounter. No script. No performance. Just the cards, the connection, and the truth.
Clients across six continents describe their sessions with one word: uncanny. John works with a precision that transcends the expected — reading what hasn't been shared, describing what couldn't be known.
John's gift is directional. Where other readers reflect the present, John is trained to orient toward where your life is going — illuminating what lies ahead so you can meet it with clarity and strength.
Every session includes spiritual counseling. John isn't here to create dependency — his deepest satisfaction comes from empowering you to find your own answers. That is a rare and sacred offering.
John is an astonishingly accurate psychic medium. You will feel supported, heard, and given a fresh, insightful perspective on any topic. He creates a safe harbor during life's storms. Simply put: John is THE BEST.
Client
What I read about John doesn't capture how special this man is. AHA-clarity, pinpoint accuracy, deep understanding of spiritual matters, remarkable insights — and a refreshing, can-do vibe. It is clear he loves what he does.
India
John's readings are insightful, spiritually oriented, positive in their direction, and very accurate. I recommend him without reservation.
Internationally Renowned Psychic & Astrologer
Once a month — when John has something genuinely worth sharing — a letter goes out to The Inner Circle. Spiritual guidance, tarot reflections, and the occasional offer. Never more than that. Never less than meaningful.
That impulse is worth honoring. A reading with John takes 30 or 60 minutes — and clients often say it quietly reshapes everything that follows.
John Culbertson has been a psychic since childhood — though he didn't have the language for it at the time. Raised by his great-grandmother after being abandoned by his parents, he grew up in a house alive with the paranormal: pictures that spun, chairs that walked, apparitions moving through rooms. He thought it was ordinary. He was wrong.
At 18, he received his first professional reading. The reader told him two things: he would never make it to Broadway — his lifelong dream — and that one day, he would be doing exactly what she was doing. He laughed. He had other plans. He was going to become a Catholic priest.
A year into seminary, he was advised to explore other religions. He left, earned a BA in Psychology with a specialization in human behavior from Avila University, and began what would become a lifelong, deeply serious exploration of spirituality, intuition, and the nature of consciousness.
That exploration led him everywhere.
He has studied under Craig Hamilton-Parker, Jason Oliver, Sandy Anastasi, John Maerz, Dr. Steven Serr, Christopher Penczak, Edward Hicks, and many other remarkable teachers.
He worked at, and then owned, Starchild Books — previously the store of Sandy Anastasi and John Maerz, and the place where famed psychic medium John Edward first studied. He later owned New Atlantis Rising Books in St. Joseph, Missouri.
John has spent over a quarter century sitting across from — or on the phone with — some of the most complex, searching, and sincere people you could imagine.
He has presented lectures across the United States on his books, made media appearances including radio in St. Louis, podcasts such as After Hours A.M., and has been featured in Natural Awakenings and Horizon magazines.
At this point in his life, John is a spiritual eclectic — but one who maintains a deep, abiding reverence for the Roman Catholicism he was born into. He has worked with people from every religious tradition imaginable, and with those who hold no tradition at all.
He has worked with the skeptical. The grieving. The hopeful. The brilliant and the broken. He approaches all of them the same way: without judgment, with full presence, and with everything he's spent a lifetime learning.
His wife Rose keeps him grounded. That matters, too.
All sessions are conducted by phone. John brings the same depth and full presence to every reading, regardless of length.
John always works with a standard 78-card tarot deck — though the specific deck shifts by day, and the card layouts vary with each reading. This isn't a system. It's a living practice. He approaches the cards as a medium approaches a conversation: with openness, attention, and the willingness to follow wherever the information leads.
He is a future-oriented reader. His purpose isn't to excavate your past or describe what you already know — it's to illuminate the trajectory your life is on, so you can step into what's coming with clarity rather than uncertainty.
All sessions involve spiritual counseling. John doesn't believe in fostering dependence. His deepest measure of a successful reading is the client who leaves feeling genuinely empowered — not the one who keeps calling back for reassurance.
Scheduling is simple and private. Choose your session length and select a time that works for you.

Practical wisdom drawn from 26 years of readings, study, and a life spent at the intersection of the seen and the unseen.
Psychic Readings ✦ For First-Timers
Most people who book their first reading don't know what to expect — and that uncertainty is what keeps a lot of people from ever picking up the phone. Here's exactly what happens, from the moment we begin to the moment we close, so you can walk in with your eyes open.
Read ArticleTarot ✦ Card Meanings
Few cards stop a reading cold the way The Tower does. I've watched clients visibly tense the moment it appears on the table. But after 26 years, I've come to see The Tower as one of the most misunderstood — and ultimately generous — cards in the entire deck.
Read ArticleIntuition ✦ Personal Development
This is the question I am asked more than almost any other. The voice of fear and the voice of genuine intuition can sound remarkably similar — until you learn to feel the difference. And once you do, you can't un-know it.
Read ArticleAngels ✦ Spirit Communication
Most people who've had an angelic experience don't call it that. They call it a feeling. A coincidence. A dream that stayed with them for years. They explain it away because the alternative feels too large. The alternative is usually the truth.
Read ArticlePsychic Development ✦ Teaching
The single biggest barrier I encounter in teaching isn't a lack of ability. It's a deeply held belief that psychic perception is reserved for a special few. That belief is wrong, and it's costing people something real.
Read ArticleEnergy ✦ Protection
You know that feeling — you spend an hour with someone and walk away exhausted, depleted, like something was quietly taken from you. That's not your imagination. Here's what's actually happening, and what to do about it.
Read ArticleGrief ✦ The Afterlife
I have sat with more grieving people than I can count. I've delivered messages that made widows weep and adult children finally exhale. After all of it, here is what I actually believe about death — and what I've witnessed that makes me believe it.
Read ArticleSpirituality ✦ Faith
I was born Catholic, spent a year in seminary, studied Wicca, Kabbalah, Shamanism, Masonry, and more paths than I can easily list. I still hold deep reverence for where I came from. Here's what all of that has taught me about faith that doesn't fit in a single box.

"John's readings are insightful, spiritually oriented, positive in their direction, and very accurate."
"I know from personal experience that John is an amazing reader. I am very particular about who reads for me — anyone who knows me knows that — and John is in the upper percentile of that list. He is insightful, caring, and amazingly accurate."
"What I read about John doesn't capture how special this man is or the uniqueness of his abilities. He has all the right stuff: AHA-clarity, pinpoint accuracy, deep understanding of spiritual matters, remarkable insights, open-mindedness, and vitality. His non-judgmental, easy-going, direct approach — he just has a refreshing, can-do vibe. It is clear he loves what he does."
"I've spoken to John twice now, and I'm amazed at his incredible insight into an issue that has been a struggle for me. His answers are direct and also filled with explanations and guidance. There is something real about his insight — meaning there isn't any muddle in his responses. I highly recommend him for all who are looking for sound and practical guidance."
"I loved my reading with John. Did he tell me all I wanted to hear? No, but he told me what I needed to know and confirmed many things I have seen and felt for myself. He also made me see things in a new light. The most amazing thing was that he told me specific things I have experienced lately and not told anyone, so that was pretty cool."
"Thank you, John. I needed some perspective on an issue, and you gave it to me in spades and in a very unusual way. You confirmed many things for me in a kind, considerate, and very helpful way, and it is so deeply appreciated."
"John is an astonishingly accurate psychic medium. You can ask him anything or tell him anything — and you will feel supported, heard, and given a fresh, insightful perspective on any topic. He holds a space where you will feel comfortable being vulnerable and creates a safe harbor during life's storms. Simply put: John is THE BEST."
"I cannot say enough about John Culbertson. His compassionate words, ability to listen and actually hear me, and his profound insight always leave me feeling confident, hopeful, and connected. Our sessions are deep, intimate, and fun! He doesn't wish for dependency but rather for us to empower ourselves so that we can find our own answers. He is an absolute blessing."
"I have spoken with a lot of psychics. I have spent thousands of dollars on the same topic. Mr. Culbertson has proven to be the most accurate psychic I have ever read with. Everything he said in his readings has started to unfold just like he said it would. His remote vision feels like being there when it all happened."
"I have grown to know and love John like a brother. He is exceptional. On our last reading, he was able to tell me what would happen right before the passing of my grandmother, and it helped me make the time I had with her very special. I thank John, from the bottom of my heart, for everything he has done for me."
"He did not know that the person I was wanting to know about smoked — but he was able to smell smoke around him and confirmed the fact. He is very accurate in his readings and predictions. Exceptional and caring. He will not tell you what you want to hear, but rather what you need to hear."
"I have spoken to many psychics before and let me tell you, John is one of the most accurate and realistic of them. He was right about everything, and everything happened as he said since our last reading. I would recommend him to others who are not afraid to hear the truth."
"John always leaves me feeling empowered and feeling as though I'm not alone with my struggles in life. His guidance and counsel is thoughtful and considerate. I'm never afraid to leave some things unspoken because I know he can read them anyway. If you're at war with yourself and choices in life, there is no one I'd recommend more."
"As always, I am so grateful for our readings. I sat at my desk for over an hour enjoying the energy and vibration you were sending. I actually felt that angel wrapping her arms around me and hugging me. My heart definitely felt your healing energy. Thank you John for restoring my hope, motivation, and peace of mind."
"I have spoken with a lot of psychics and John was the one who gave me the information I needed to HEAL. He gave me tools that allowed me to grow — not simply to continue calling back for bread crumbs, but actual gems to help me grow."
